Research tells us that Officially titled the Army and Navy Co-Operative Society, Ltd., it was and still is a general purpose department store.  For a while before the turn of the century, they made their own clubs with the help of young  James Braid.  James Anderson of Anstruther, Fife was a well known cleekmaker in the last third of the 19th century.He was not related to the Andersons of St Andrews with the same name: Jamie, the Open champion and jamie’s son, James. The diemeter of his mark is 1/2 inch and should not be mistaken for the similar, but larger, one later used by his son, Alex which is on this club.
